LS3 Engine Block

grabcad

This is an almost fully detailed engine block modeled by me in SolidWorks. There are a few things missing especially on the back of the block, but most of it's there. I used the CAD model that Lou Kaminski uploaded for a lot of the dimensions as that model seems to be pretty accurate, so thanks to him I was able to get it as close as possible. The rest I either found online or measured what I could from my own engine (assembled and in the vehicle). I had to use a lot assumptions and staring at pictures for more hours than I care to think about, but I feel that it's pretty accurate. I plan on modeling the entire engine piece by piece and having rapid prototypes made in ~1/8th scale so I can make molds and castings for miniature (non-running) engines. I'll likely upload parts as they are finished if I can keep my sanity long enough to finish this massive project.
